Firstly let me appolagise for not realy explaing properly, that is because i
am lying in bed beacuse of my back which does not function as it should
thesedays and the medicine i am taking slows my reactions down to a snails
pace and leaves me in such a state where i have be very carefull what i type,
hence the tremendous amount of spelling mistakes.
The command ls -al /lib/modules/`uname -r`/* | wc -l will produce a complete
list of all directorys and files under uname -r in my case 2.2.5-16
A few lines as an example are;
/# ls -al /lib/modules/`uname -r`/* | more
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9646 Aug 12 13:49 /lib/modules/2.2.5-
16/modules.dep
/lib/modules/2.2.5-16/block:
total 164
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 Jul 27 08:27 .
drwxr-xr-x 9 root root 1024 Jul 27 09:55 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 68340 Jul 27 09:55 floppy.o
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 31328 Jul 27 09:55 ide-cd.o
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 12948 Jul 27 09:55 ide-floppy.o
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 26760 Jul 27 09:55 ide-tape.o
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 11016 Jul 27 08:27 loop.o
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8396 Jul 27 08:27 nbd.o
The first line is modules.dep which is not a module so the - count is now 1
from the total which wc -l will produce.
the next 4 lines are /lib/modules/2.2.5-16/block
total 164 and the directory ownership,
They also are not modules, so we deduct another 4 lines from the total
count.
So further we deduct 4 lines for every directory under uname -r.
A beter command would have been;
ls -al /lib/modules/`uname -r`/* | grep -e "-rw-r--r--" | wc -l
That produces 168 which includes modules.dep so - 1 = 167 modules.
